The 2022 Domaine Jomain Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc is a highly regarded, 100% Chardonnay white Burgundy that offers exceptional value, punchily mimicking the profile of its premium neighbor, Puligny-Montrachet. Crafted by siblings Christophe, Philippe, and Catherine Jomain from 40-year-old vines, it functions as a "cellar star" for budget-conscious Burgundy lovers.
Wine Profile & Tasting NotesThe Nose: Dominated by elegant, mild floral aromas, white peach, citrus, and hints of vanilla.
The Palate: Ample, rich, and slightly "fat" in mouthfeel, yet beautifully balanced by crisp, low-to-mid acidity and a prominent chalky, mineral tension. Expect distinct notes of lemon, pear, and lychee, rounded out by opulent touches of butter from its time in oak.
The Finish: Clean, very dry, and lingering.
Production & Terroir Details
Vineyard Location: Grown on a tiny 2.5-acre plot right in the commune of Puligny-Montrachet. The vines border premier sites but are classified under the regional Bourgogne Côte d'Or status, which keeps the price low.
Viticulture: The grapes are sustainably farmed (lutte raisonnée) and harvested entirely by hand from vines planted back in 1981.
Vinification: Aged half in stainless steel tanks to protect its fresh fruit and half in French oak barrels (maximum 25% new wood) with extensive bâtonnage (stirring of the lees) to build that signature creamy texture
